Nevertire
Tiny
township on the Mitchell Highway
Nevertire is typical little one pub railway town,
located on the Mitchell Highway 526 km north-west of Sydney, between
Narromine (68 km south-east) and Bourke (258 km north-west). It is also
at the western end of the Oxley Highway, 19 km south-west of Warren.
Nevertire exists due to the grain handling at the nearby
railway station. It has only about a dozen houses. So why is it
included? Because Henry Lawson once described it as the edge of the
'Great Grey Plain', the genuinely dry country of saltbush which extends
west to the deserts of the centre. When Lawson passed through the town
he observed: 'Somebody told me that the country was very dry on the
other side of Nevertire. It is. I wouldn't like to sit on it anywhere.'
It is now a popular place to stay for people
working at Auscott Cotton Gin near Warren.
